I know that this is a rhetorical question, but when there will be availible root with locked BL? It seems like noone cares about this question, what Doomlord saiyng about it ? Root through unlocked BL is not so good decision, so the problem is still open and it`s very actual.

Everyone with this phone that wants to achieve root cares, not everyone with this phone has the know how to ge t it done. Please read before posting, especially Spectre's posts.
If we already have official ICS for Ion, i would try to root my Ion by Xperia S method with locked bootloader, but i`m afraid to do it on GB If there will be any emergency situations during the root process, i have my doubts that i will take the right decision.

we don't have official ics yet.and that method won't work without ics. Can't do it with just GB.

Whether you think its too long or not doesn't matter. Its coming just have to be patient or not and get a different phone. Its actually moving along quicker than what it usually does for AT&T to test a firmware release.
Good to know it's moving along quickly. I'm waiting patiently. I will upgrade to the Ion once the ATT version can be rooted.

That's what I'm gonna try to do. But I'm switching from Verizon... So it's complicated.

Tried to root today by Xperia S methods, doesn`t work at all All the steps of instruction passed OK, but in the end of all this no root access. It seems like those methods for Xperia S only, and they are doesn`t work on Ion. But anyway, i`m not going to unlock BL for root, maybe later we will be eble to get root access somehow like Xperia S users.

3So over on the Xperia S forums they have this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1742992 which is a guide to root the Xperia S with a locked bootloader. Has anyone tried those steps with the ion and a locked bootloader?
I will test this out in a week (after my week of use testing the international firmware on my at&t ion) if no one else has yet. Thought it might be interesting to see if it works for us too.11
Well we have to get the files from SUS or PC companion of an official release to make into an FTF. Right now ICS isn't being pushed out anywhere so we are stuck waiting.1Tried to root today by Xperia S methods, doesn`t work at all All the steps of instruction passed OK, but in the end of all this no root access.
